On advancement to the third circle the pilgrim comes under the tutelage of the Father Guides. The attainment of the Universal Father is our passport to eternity and also heralds our advancement to the status of a fifth-stage spirit.
On the 2nd circle, counselors and advisers begin our preparation for the great and final rest, an inevitable sleep which ever intervenes between the epochal stages of the ascendant career. On completion of the 2nd circle experience, the Graduate Guides issue the order admitting us to the final circle where we are in the custody of the Complements of Rest. Our time is devoted mostly to the study of the impending problems of Paradise residence. Near the end of this sojourn, we meet the Instigators of Rest and complete the preparation for the transition slumber, following which we are eternally resurrected on Paradise.

Journey's end--and a new beginning
On Paradise, when we awaken from the transit sleep of time into the new experiences of eternity, we will be greeted by our permanent seraphic guardians who have been our companions from the early days of the universe career. Having been granted residential status on Paradise, we begin a progressive course in divinity and absonity. We must fraternize with upwards of 3000 orders of Paradise citizens and various groups of transcendentalers. And here, on Paradise, we actually "find" God as a person. We are designated as Paradise graduates after completion of a course with the Conductors of Worship. Then, on taking the Trinity oath of eternity, we advance to the level of a sixth-stage spirit and are thereupon mustered into the Mortal Corps of Finality.
The Spirit Stages of Ascender Progress are:
First-Stage Spirit - on graduation from Salvington, the local universe headquarters.
Second-Stage Spirit - on advancement to the major sector of Splandon.
Third Stage Spirit - on advancement to Uversa, the superuniverse headquarters.
Fourth-Stage Spirit - on advancement to the sixth Havona circuit.
Fifth-Stage Spirit - on advancement to the 2nd Havona circuit following recognition of the Universal Father.
Sixth-Stage Spirit - on taking the Trinity oath of eternity and being mustered into the Mortal Corps of Finality.
Seventh Stage Spirit - conjectural - possibly on attaining God the Supreme.
Where next?
As Finaliters, we are assigned on observational and co-operative service to the ends of the far flung creation. The expectation is that Finaliters will become seventh-stage spirits concomitantly with the attainment of God the Supreme.
The ultimate destiny of the Corps of Finality is unknown. Speculation has it that we will attempt to know God as Ultimate, and having attained that goal, we will begin the quest for the Absolute.
It might be a good idea to now read the Section entitled "Conductors of Worship" on page 303 of the book in order to get a feel for what this journey is really about. Bon Voyage.
